In the world of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, life’s biggest moments are often shared with the world—but some are so personal, even the cameras can’t capture every emotion. In a whirlwind week that saw the arrival of their fourth child, Psalm West, via surrogate, and a heartfelt vow renewal on their fifth wedding anniversary, Kim and Kanye proved once again that their love story is as dramatic, unpredictable, and moving as ever.

The Final Countdown: Waiting for Baby Psalm

The days leading up to Psalm’s birth were filled with anticipation—and a touch of classic Kardashian chaos. Kim, already a mother to North, Saint, and Chicago, was preparing for the arrival of her baby boy via surrogate. But as with any Kardashian event, nothing is ever simple.

“So tomorrow, North, you don’t have school, okay?” Kim gently explained to her daughter, already coordinating childcare. “But Coco’s going to pick you up. And then, depending on if your little brother comes, Daddy can maybe come and watch you.”

The family’s nerves were on edge. Kim’s surrogate was in a tricky situation: “She has to get rushed to the hospital because it’s a really dangerous position… She’s like transverse, which means the head’s here and the feet are here—horizontal,” Kim explained. “She’s so nervous about that. She wants you there for all of it.” Kim, having experienced a similar medical procedure herself, didn’t sugarcoat it: “It was so painful. It was more painful than delivery.”

The Rush to the Hospital—and Kanye’s MIA Moment

When the call finally came that the baby was on his way, Kim’s adrenaline kicked in. “It’s game time. Like, it’s going to happen within the hour and I need him to get to Cedars [Sinai Hospital], and he’s not answering!” Kim’s frustration was palpable as she tried to reach Kanye, who was nowhere to be found in the thick of LA’s infamous Friday afternoon traffic.

“Who doesn’t answer their phone when a baby is coming? This is wild,” Kim vented. Even Kris Jenner, “Lovey” to her grandkids, got in on the action, ready to fire up the car and make a mad dash to the hospital. Thankfully, the surrogate didn’t need the risky procedure after all, and the induction could begin.

A Swift, Joyful Arrival

Psalm’s birth was unexpectedly smooth. “Our surrogate is so amazing. She had the easiest delivery. She pushed literally maybe one time,” Kim recounted with relief and gratitude. Kanye and Kourtney were both by her side in the delivery room. “We were just staring at him and holding him… He’s 6 lbs 12 oz. He’s so cute. I feel so complete. Four is the perfect number for me.”

Even with the joy, there was a bittersweet note: Kris had been fighting a cold and couldn’t be at the hospital, eagerly awaiting to meet her new grandson at home. “We always forget how small they are,” she cooed, finally holding Psalm for the first time.

Naming Baby Psalm: The Family Debate

Choosing a name for their new son was no small feat. “His name was going to be Ye, but Kanye doesn’t like Ye because Ye doesn’t mean anything,” Kim revealed. “So we looked up every name in the Bible that had ‘Ye’ at the beginning, and the only name was like Yayl.” In the end, Kylie Jenner called at the last second and suggested Psalm, noting how “Saint and Psalm sound good together.” The name stuck, and the family agreed it was perfect.

Five Years, Four Kids: Time to Renew the Vows

No sooner had the family settled into life as a party of six than Kim began planning another major milestone: renewing her wedding vows with Kanye to mark their five-year anniversary.

“Even though the baby just got here and we’re adjusting to being a family of six, we have our five-year wedding anniversary coming up, which is so crazy to think. Four kids in five years!” Kim marveled. Determined to make the occasion special, she decided to plan a surprise vow renewal in their backyard, enlisting the help of their pastor, Rich Wilkerson, who had married them in 2014.

But in true Kim and Kanye fashion, things got complicated. Kim discovered Kanye was secretly planning an anniversary party of his own with a high-profile event planner. “I was so excited to plan something that was what I thought of, but he’s meeting with these party planners talking about this anniversary dinner that he’s planning,” Kim said. “Should I just let him plan it? Do I say something? Maybe I should just let him take over and do his thing because he likes to do that so much.”

In the end, the couple decided to combine their efforts, embracing the chaos and making it a joint celebration.

Family, Love, and the Next Chapter

As their children played nearby, Kim reflected on the whirlwind of emotions and the importance of family. “It is wild to have like three under three or four under five, whatever it is. So no more kids,” she laughed, though North cheekily suggested, “Seven!” Kim and Kanye’s bond was evident—even amidst the noise and mess of family life, they made time for each other. “Kanye knows that I’ve had such anxiety with a new baby and everything happening in my life, and he’s stepped up so much and has been the most amazing dad,” Kim shared.

The vow renewal itself was intimate and emotional. “Today is my five-year anniversary with Kanye, and I’m so excited just to have the family over to do a little vow renewal ceremony,” Kim said. She wrote her own vows this time, a departure from the traditional promises they made at their lavish Florence wedding. “Kanye always talks about how at our wedding we had really traditional vows, and I’m sure he thought we should write our own vows, but at that time, in front of all those people, I didn’t even think I could get it together to say original vows.”

Surrounded by their children, family, and closest friends, Kim and Kanye reaffirmed their love. “You are my husband, my best friend, my biggest believer, and my one true love,” Kim read, her voice full of emotion. The ceremony was private—no cameras for the actual vows—and the night ended with laughter, love, and a sense of peace.

A New Chapter for the Wests

For Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, this milestone week was more than just another headline. It was a reminder that, beneath the glitz and glamour, their family is built on love, resilience, and a willingness to face life’s challenges together. As Kim put it, “I feel so full in the best way. But I’m done.”

With baby Psalm in her arms and Kanye by her side, Kim’s journey continues—one filled with surprises, second chances, and the kind of moments that make even the most famous family in the world feel just a little bit like your own.
